Sir Lawrence Olivier

whether, on stage as actor or manager; or in cinema as actor or director-The best of the best: my favorite, the deliciously evil Richard III which he also directed (natch) but the equally evil Weissengel in Marathon Man ("is it Safe?") as he drills Dustin Hoffman's tooth...or in Spartacus! as he crucifies Kirk Douglas! Lord Olivier was not always the best actor-he didn't have to be. " The American actor William Redfield had a similar view:

Ironically enough, Laurence Olivier is less gifted than Marlon Brando. He is even less gifted than Richard Burton, Paul Scofield, Ralph Richardson and John Gielgud. But he is still the definitive actor of the twentieth century. Why? Because he wanted to be. His achievements are due to dedication, scholarship, practice, determination and courage. He is the bravest actor of our time."
